No to privatising of GP services

According to this article, from the Times today, Blair & Co have plans to privatise GP services. This is an absolute scandal, GPs should not operate from the private sector, people's health must come first, not market forces:

The NHS would be able to invite interested parties to supply services in certain situations, such as areas which suffer from GP shortages.
Private firms such as Boots and Bupa are expected to make bids to provide services, alongside ambitious family doctors.

We all know about the mess our hospitals are in because of the introduction of market forces, we do not want our GP services to end up in the same situation.
